Arzlan moved with lightning speed then soared high, the bear monster stopped and looked up. The target was determined not to be able to leave, without much thinking that monster launched its sharp claws at Arzlan.
The monster's estimation was very wrong, Arzlan very easily dodged the attack. His body continued to move until it managed to deliver a deadly stab to the monster's head. Arzlan couldn't hold on any longer, he had to soon jump back due to the monster's struggling movement using claws aimed at his body.
Arzlan stood straight while looking at the monster, that monster growled with blood pouring from its forehead.
Quickly the monster ran towards Arzlan. Unexpectedly Alisha suddenly stepped forward to block the monster.
"I will prove that I am useful!" Alisha gripped her sword tightly. "Flame Throw!"
The sword was swung vertically then flames emerged from it, the flames spread straight towards the bear monster. Burning the monster in the blazing flames, the appearance it gave was terrifying.
However, that does not mean that the opponent will immediately fall. The monster that was believed to be dead after being burned by the fire now came out from the fire, with an angry gaze Alisha being the target.
Faust Bear Great Rock launched another attack, his eyes lit up indicating that he had entered rage mode. Won't let Alisha go, that girl prepared for the impending attack.
"You think it would be that easy to attack me?" Alisha also rushed towards the monster, with Accelerator's help she was able to run faster.
When she was in front of the monster's face, Alisha had miscalculated.
Things!!!
A sharp claw had landed on Alisha's body, luckily she had time to parry the attack even though her body still had to be thrown. Faust Bear didn't stop, this was an opportunity for him to deal damage to the girl, quickly used his feet to rush towards the girl.
Alisha could only stare with shock when she was thinking to be hit by a violent attack from the monster. "How is this? I definitely won't be able to dodge that attack!" She has given up on this situation.
Crash!!
Too soon for the girl to feel pessimistic, a miracle came. A single slash of the sword had landed on the monster's body, skin tearing resounded with blood splatters flying through the air.
"Groagh!"
The attack knocks out Faust Bear. Arzlan had arrived just in time, he managed to do a surprise attack.
Faust Bear woke up again, the monster's gaze was very sharp. The blood in his body was flowing very profusely, Arzlan put on a standby position, he knew what might happen was a very fierce fight.
But, slowly the monster fell by itself. The wound that Arzlan gave was so painful even that the monster's body couldn't take it anymore.
"Huh..." Alisha sighed. She had thought that she would die at the hands of the monster. Arzlan came to him, the man gave a sharp look. "I knew for a fact he would be angry!"
Alisha is too naive to be able to help Arzlan, what is happening now she only troubles that man. Arzlan stretched out his hand, it certainly surprised Alisha. No words came from that man's mouth, but the look in his eyes was enough to tell that he was angry.
Alisha took Arzlan's hand. "Thank You!" With a timid tone of voice she spoke.
"You don't need to do that, I already know that you have quite extraordinary courage, but you better find a weapon suitable for you to use!"
"You don't need to do that, I already know that you have quite extraordinary courage, but you better find a weapon suitable for you to use!"
"Eh?" Alisha became surprised, no angry voice was heard by her. The man said use a cold tone, but that voice came out was emotionless. "Can I still help you?"
"Why do you ask like that?" Arzlan gave an astonished look, seeing this Alisha lowered her head.
"I understand that my actions were selfish, but…"
:"I see, you don't have to feel guilty! Everything that happened is enough to prove that you want to become a woman who can be of use to others!"
Arzlan immediately cut Alisha's words, it was easy to understand that girl was too naive in her actions, but she had a pretty good heart not to be shy about admitting mistakes.
"So, won't you be angry?"
"Of course not, you should be more careful next time! I won't be able to protect you always, I already explained this path you are following with me will be very dangerous!"
Alisha was stunned, she wanted to be of use to Arzlan as soon as possible. Her heart felt a little guilty if she kept only bothering Arzlan.
***
The journey back continued, after a long walk they finally arrived at the village location.
The village was inhabited by small creatures named Dwarves, they began to stare at the two strangers standing at the village's border. Several Dwarves approached those two people.
"Oi, who are you guys?" asked a white-bearded Dwarf sternly.
"We are Adventurers, I came here to make weapons! Is there anyone can help make weapons for us?"
The Dwarves began to stare at each other, Arzlan wondered there was something wrong with his words so the midgets looked at each other in surprised gaze.
"Oi, are you a foreigner who doesn't know the Dwarves?"
"Huh?" Arzlan put on a face of not knowing.
"Yare yare Here all the Dwarves are experts in making armor or weapons, we can also make crafts and some other things!"
"Ooooh!"
"What kind of shock reaction is that!"
Arzlan's face looks so flat that it doesn't show a surprised reaction.
"But, here I want to meet the best weapons maker. I have the goal of defeating the Demon Lord!"
Hearing Arzlan's words all the Dwarves were surprised, they looked at each other again.
"Are you one of the Heroes summoned by the Scaevola Kingdom?" asked the white-bearded Dwarf.
"I'm not from their side, here I just want to defend every creature that might get suppressed!"
The words were so powerful, even the words that came out were so powerful that made they soul present there tremble.
"You have very good speech, but your energy is scarier than a human! Are you really a good creature?"
"No, I'm not a good creature or a hero as you described earlier, I'm just a creature sent to give the world a straight path!"
"What are you talking about, we don't like overly complicated speech things! Alright, I'll lead Master to the house of one of the best at making weapons or armor!"
Azlan nodded. They then followed the Dwarf, to a house inhabited by a solitary man.
